World Cup 2018, Denmark vs Australia: Best and Worst players from the match

#4 Worst - Robbie Kruse (Australia)

Kruse failed to make an impact yet again

Often termed as everyone's favourite whipping boy, Robbie Kruse failed to do anything noteworthy to rectify his spoiled reputation against Denmark. Apart from having a shot on goal blocked by Andreas Christensen in the first half, the forward mustered very little fortune while going forward.

Part of his poor performance during the game can be credited to the sublime shift produced by his counter-part Henrik Dalsgaard but Kruse failed to pose any sort of challenge to the defender and it was often up to full-back Aziz Behich to try and make something happen down that flank.

All he could do was run ragged and to rub salt into his wounds, Daniel Arzani who replaced him in the 70th minute proved to be a handful for the Danish defenders and looked very effective while going forward.
